It’s now been a month since the January transfer window closed and though teams know that they can only add free agents between now and the end of the season, Premier League clubs are still on the lookout for what business they can do once the season ends.

It was confirmed last week that the summer transfer window for Premier League clubs will once again close before the new season begins, with the 2019 summer window set to shut on August 8 ahead of the season’s August 10 kick off.

That means that business will have to be done early and so teams are already planning ahead.

And though the players cannot move around until the new window opens, there’s still questions to be answered at certain clubs over who will be their manager.

According to The Mirror the pair will be considered for the permanent role while Scott Parker takes over on a temporary basis.

Chelsea are under pressure to make a move for Zinedine Zidane to replace Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are hoping to make the Frenchman their new manager this summer but according to The Mirror Juventus are also keen on Zidane with Massimiliano Allegri set to leave the Italian giants at the end of the season.
